I would like to get the names of agencies that would not hesitate to work with an older couple. We are 58 and 56 yrs old and looking to adopt a little boy around 6 to 8 yrs old. We have a 9 yr old natural son and a 7 yr old adopted son from Guatemala. Since Guatemala is closed we have to look at other countries and I have been having a hard time finding an agency that will work with a couple our ages. Please PM me if anyone has any names of good agencies that will have no problem with a couple our age or any idea of Latin countries that might work for us. I have heard that Columbia might be a good country for us to look at. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there,I am not sure if our agency would have any issues working with a couple in their 50's or not. I don't think they would, but Colombia is really the one that has the ultimate decision. I know they are strict about parental ages if you want to adopt an infant, but since you are willing to adopt an older child, this may not be such a big issue, especially if you have a positive home study report. I will PM you the name of the agency we are using. We are actually in Colombia right now completeing the adoption of our 6 mo. old daughter, but I did meet a couple the other day who looked to be in their 50's that are adopting a girl who I would say looked to be between the ages of 9-11. They are adopting through the "KidSave" program. Not sure if you've heard of it, but we've met several families here adopting older kids through KidSave. If you want, I can try to find out what agency this other couple used. Best of luck to you!
